Why limit yourself to just one?

I've been considering the things discussed here too, and I'm coming to the conclusion that more than one email service might be the best solution (for me).

Very occasionally I do want E2EE, so I have a ProtonMail account.
Most of the time I want easy access to aliases that can be used for both sending and receiving as well as created on the fly, so I have a Fastmail account.
Because I have domains with Gandi, I have access to Gandi mail. Although I don't have much use for it, there is one important contact I have who uses one of my Gandi mail accounts. I can easily update my email address with that contact, and might one day, but, really, it's not that urgent as it's not a big deal to check it.

My point is, you're not under any obligation to have all of your email with one provider. Even convenience isn't really an argument because services like Fastmail and most email clients will let you send and receive emails through multiple/other email services (although admittedly there are some exceptions).
